A deep-sea research probe captures a high-resolution sonar thermal map. The thermal map is stored as an uncompressed image with 24-bit colour depth and has a fixed width of 512 pixels.

It uses exactly 15 MB of storage.

Construct an expression to calculate the height of the thermal map in pixels.

  • 1 KB = 1024 bytes
  • 1 MB = 1024 KB

You do not have to perform the final calculation.
